Municipality
editThe Nepali government announced in 2015 the creation of 26 new municipalities. With this announcement Barahathawa was upgraded to a municipality of Nepal; previously it was merely a proposed municipality. The adjoining villages, or VDCs, of Barahathawa, Shreepur, Murtiya, Hajariya, Janakinagar, Laukat and Sundarpur chuhadwa were merged with Barahathawa to upgrade it to the status of a municipality.
